Involuntary Urination (Bedwetting; Eneuresis)

Infants commonly pass urine in bed during sleep. It becomes a matter of concern, however, if an infant continues to do so even after attaining an age of three years. In adults, involuntary urination may be caused by a neurological problem.

Homeopathic Treatment

Check if most symptoms of any of these medicines match with most of your symptoms:

Benzoic acid 30 : For bed-wetting of delicate infants or dribbling urine of old men with enlarged prostate. The urine has a dark brown colour and a very strong, repulsive odour.

Causticum 30: Involuntary urination when laughing, coughing, sneezing or blowing the nose (compare Pulsatilla). Involuntary urination of infants at night during first sleep (like Sepia). The problem improves on its own in the rainy season but is worse in clear fine weather.

Equisetum 30 : Involuntary profuse urination in infants, under the influence of a frightening dream. The child may also complain of a dull pain in the bladder, which intensifies at the close of urination.

Nux voimca 30 : Dribbling of urine in young men from loss of control over the bladder after consuming intoxicating drinks. There is frequent urge to pass urine but only a few drops come out causing irritation and pain. The problem is worse during winter and summer but improves during the rains.

Pulsatilla 30 : Involuntary urination in sleep, while coughing or passing flatus (gas) (compare Causticum); more likely to occur if the person has consumed rich, fatty food the previous evening.

Sepia 30 : Involuntary urination of small girls during first sleep (compare Causticum). The urine is offensive and stains clothes because of a red sediment.

Silicea 30 : Involuntary urination especially during no-moon or full-moon nights. Nocturnal eneuresis in children with worms in intestines.

Sulphur 30 : Involuntary passage of a large quantity of urine at night by an untidy infant, who has a dislike for bathing. Eneuresis is precipitated by weather-changes but generally disappears during summer.

Notes:

1. Discontinue the medicine as soon as about fifty per cent improvement is felt. Restart the medicine if sYmptoms worsen again or reappear later.
2. If none of the above-listed medicines seems matching or if no improvement is felt even after taking ten doses of the selected medicine, consult a competent homoeopathic doctor.
